• User Authentication and Authorization: Separate login systems for job seekers and employers.
• Job Management: Employers can post jobs, and job seekers can search and apply for jobs.
• Detailed Job Descriptions: Each job posting contains comprehensive details to help job seekers make informed decisions.
• Error Handling: Robust middleware for handling errors and asynchronous operations.

• Node.js: JavaScript runtime environment.
• Express.js: Web application framework for Node.js.
• MongoDB: NoSQL database for storing user and job data.
• Mongoose: ODM for MongoDB and Node.js.
• JWT: For user authentication and authorization.
